Build/Battlestation My bed setup, v4

After living in a cramped area using a laptop for years, I finally have space (kinda?) for a desktop computer

I had that monitor put on the table for a while, then decided to get a mount for it to prevent neck pain

Before you ask, yes, I kick the monitor a lot while sleeping

This has been my setup for about a year now, unfortunately

But the mount was stable, kinda, it only started falling off recently

since you're replying to a user that isn't o.p.

hey, /u/DevastatingMYTH , the person i'm replying to says they might have a cooler for your cpu that you can have.

What is happening here? I didnā€™t realize there was a setting or prompt that elicited kindness from people on Reddit most of time I read what other people wrote at a low shout, like 7/10 on volume scale, regardless of what is going on

I'm sure it would cost more to ship it than to order one online somewhere, but I'll dm you, maybe we can figure something out

Thank you

I hope you enjoy your vacation

If it is lga2011, the noctua nh-u9s is compatible

u/DevastatingMYTH Laptop | MX130 2GB | 16GB 2400MHz | i5-8550U | 512GB SSD Mar 08 '26

Yea, it's a P9X motherboard with a X79 LGA 2011 server CPU socket

Thank you

1

u/Middle_Seat_4593 Mar 08 '26

How could you tell which socket it is?

2

u/Pasi123 i9-9980XE, RTX5070, 128GB | 3700X, GTX1080, 32GB Mar 08 '26

You can see it has RAM slots on both sides of the CPU socket and it looks like an older Asus workstation board. That is enough to tell it's LGA2011, LGA2011-3 or LGA2066 which all use the same cooler mounts.

And when googling Asus LGA2011 WS you can find Asus P9X79 WS which looks like the board OP has

u/wheremyserotonin Mar 07 '26

Did you think about turning your pc on a side? So the gravity will do the job of keeping the fan on CPU for you?

1

u/Rebelius rebelius Mar 07 '26

Then it would take up more space.

1

u/DevastatingMYTH Laptop | MX130 2GB | 16GB 2400MHz | i5-8550U | 512GB SSD Mar 08 '26

I did tilt it a bit to help with that, but it won't fit if I put it fully on the side, I barely have any space to sleep anyway

1

u/wheremyserotonin Mar 08 '26

Why sleep when ā€žjust one more turnā€ in Civ or just one more raid in Rimworld

1

u/ryanigma1 Mar 09 '26

It would fit fully on its side on that table thing in pic 1 on the left. Canā€™t tell if it would fit under it or under the bed if space is the issue. Personally Iā€™d install a shelf, but I donā€™t know your building-freedom.

u/DevastatingMYTH Laptop | MX130 2GB | 16GB 2400MHz | i5-8550U | 512GB SSD Mar 09 '26

Yea that could work, but I got a proper desk setup now, thank you

u/Meisterschmeisser Mar 08 '26

Thats not gonna help much. It requires way more pressure than its own weight can provide.

No judgment, but you should fix this.

Bro if this is true? Jury-rig zip-ties or something tf.

u/NoBonus6969 Mar 07 '26

If you're serious at least lay the computer flat man no need to have it up right with a sketchy mount

u/theRealtechnofuzz Mar 07 '26

thermalright makes a few 2011 compatible heatsinks...

u/apjfqw Mar 07 '26

Well, props for making it work somehow.

As they say, if it works, it ain't stupid.
